But he is back in news, perhaps feeling re-energized by Trump's upcoming Iran sanctions and recent GOP-Jarvanka wing supported attacks on Syria:

It cpuld be just alliance of convenience, there is no indication that behind the scenes old neocons like Lieberman are running Trump's Iran, Syria foreign policies.

Israel to Russia:We sat out Western sanctions, so help us in Mideast

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Israel's defense minister reminded Russia on Thursday of his government's decision not to join Western sanctions against it, and asked that Moscow reciprocate with a more pro-Israel approach to Syria and Iran.
Avigdor Lieberman's appeal followed Russia's rare calling out of Israel over an April 9 air strike in Syria, and came as U.S. President Donald Trump mulls scrapping the 2015 Iranian nuclear deal by May 12, a review opposed by Moscow.
"We value these relations with Russia," Lieberman said in an interview with the Russian newspaper Kommersant.
"Even when our close partners pressured us, as in the case of sanctions against Russia, we did not join them," he said, alluding to Western powers that clashed with Moscow over the Crimea crisis and the poisoning of a Russian ex-spy in Britain.
"A lot of countries have recently expelled Russian diplomats. Israel did not join in this action," he added.
"We take Russia's interests into account and we hope that Russia will take into account our interests, here in the Middle East. We expect Russia's understanding and support when it comes to our vital interests."
